After recharging the battery pack (see "Charging the Battery" on page 34), you may
need to replace the battery if the instrument only operates when the charger is
connected.
NOTE
The battery is designed to withstand several hundred discharge-recharge cycles
before failing.
The power indicator only shows the remaining charge level when the charger is not
connected to the instrument.
If you are still unable to turn on the instrument after the charger is connected for
several minutes, the instrument or the charger may be at fault.
